…chiropractic care in excess of manual manipulation of the spine to correct a subluxation demonstrated by x-rays taken reasonably proximate to initiation of treatment (no more than 3 months prior for an acute condition or 12 months for a chronic condition).
My wife uses some jargon…
“Did you make stinkies? Ooohhh! You DID make stinkies! Now your diaper needs changing, AGAIN!”
Yeah, I pretend I don’t understand it too.
“I hope that last customer dies in a car accident.”
Not as jargon-y as some others in this thread, but here goes:
We need to get the CONOPS through ERB and approved by the COTR so that we can be ready for PDR.
We need to get the Concept of Operations (document) through the Engineering Review Board (internal approval) and approved by the Contracting Officer’s Technical Representative (customer) so that we can be ready for the Preliminary Design Review (a milestone in some software development projects).
I’m a tech writer for a defense contractor: most of our jargon is just acronyms. 
“Defendant got BFC’d at arraignment. Might need the PD appointed, and CPD says he was acting wacky, so he’s probably an MDO. If the IC isn’t paying attention and the cop FTAs next time, it could even be DWOP’d. Otherwise they’ll pick him up on the cape, maybe for CCW, DUS, NDL or Agg DC. He’s got priors, so he might take it to the box, and get maxed and stacked after he’s PFS’d for a PSI. Of course, with Jenkins on the case, he just might squat. That could mean trouble for Team Ohio.”
[spoiler]Municipal court lingo. Although I’ve never heard all of this said at the same time, or for the same case, it’s pretty common jargon around here.
A defendant didn’t show up for his first court appearance and a “BFC” or bond forfeiture capias (bench warrant after he’s posted a bond, so he doesn’t get his money back) was issued. “PD” is the public defender; “CPD” is the City Police Department, and “MDO” is a mentally disordered offender. “IC” is a police or prosecutor “in charge” or supervisor. “FTA” means failed to appear. “DWOP” is dismissed for want of prosecution. “Cape” is a capias or bench warrant. “CCW” is carrying a concealed weapon, “DUS” is driving under suspension, “NDL” is no drivers license, and “Agg DC” is aggravated disorderly conduct. “Priors” are prior offenses. “Taking it to the box” is asking for a jury trial, “maxed and stacked” means the imposition of a maximum sentence, run consecutive to any other sentences; “PFS” is passed for sentence for the preparation of a “PSI” or presentence investigation report. “Squatting” is when the defendant rests his case without presenting any evidence. “Team Ohio” is the prosecution.

The row [0 6 8 5 7 e 4 3 9 t 1 2] has hexachordal combinatoriality, as IT9: [0 6 8 5 7 e] yields [4 3 9 t 1 2].
Throw 'em in a five with bark, add two tablespoons of slow release, put 'em under the 400’s and flood 'em.
From a job I held some years ago:
“Change up to 236s, and purge and run red. Bobby will grind and TT, then you shoot.”
Injection molding of a splice on a seismic cable: The machine operator is being told to change his splice mold to 0.236-inch inserts, to run purging compound through his machine to clean it out of the current color, and to mix up a red plastic compound and put it in the machine. Helper Bobby will carefully use a rotating wire brush to grind down the cable to be molded to the required tolerance, then will use tetrahydrofurane (“TT”) solvent to ensure a good seal between the old plastic insulation and the new plastic of the splice. With the machine ready, and the cables prepped by Bobby, the operator will then put the cable to be spliced in the machine and inject (“shoot”) the hot plastic into the mold to form the splice.
Do you work for Starbucks???
My contribution:
“The job never recognized EOF, so the DOWHILE loop executed until the night operator pulled the plug on it. All the successors are waiting to run, and the lusers will be screaming. The fail-note went out already, so Bug Eyes will be in at 7 for a status update”
Translation:
(This might come through the phone from a night operator in our computer room at about 3 AM)
A batch job on the mainframe didn’t realize it had read all of the data in a file, so it ran on until the operator canceled it. The batch jobs that were supposed to run after this have not run, and the users in other offices will be wanting their data when they come in. The job e-mailed a note to the team that supports this job, and their manager (who wears the weirdest glasses you’ve ever seen) will be at your desk as soon as he comes in to find out what you’re doing about it"
The biopsy shows a spindle cell lesion likely representing stromal overgrowth of a phyllodes tumor with up to 8 mitoses/HPF, but I’m getting immunos for p63 and cytokeratin AE1/AE3 to exclude a metaplastic carcinoma with spindle cell features.
A greenhouse, actually. This grows quality maize.
“Good work on getting that amendment through in the breakout session. Now, we’ve got mike muffins from POW and NDYC at the con mike to call question, and we’ve got the Critic at the pro mike to motivate. The ridings for the next two are on side. Hopefully we can run through this block and get to ours before Orders of the Day.”
Good work on successfully having that amendment passed in the separate session used to prioritize and amend resolutions before debate by the whole convention. Now, we have delegates from the Participation of Women Committee and the New Democratic Youth of Canada camped out at the microphone set up for delegates to speak against motions in order to ask the chairperson to see if the convention is ready to suspend debate and move directly to a vote on the resolution at hand, and we have the MP who serves as party spokesperson on this issue at the microphone intended for delegates to speak in favour of motions, to give the first speech of the debate on another resolution. The electoral district party associations who proposed the next two resolutions will not oppose having debate on their resolutions cut off for an immediate vote. Hopefully we can vote on all the resolutions in this subject matter area up to and including the one we’re interested in before deliberation on resolutions is suspended for the party leader’s speech.
“Yeah, I was in the Members’ Gallery when C-389 got passed on division at second reading. Fed Office is trying to get the CPAC videos.”
Yeah, I was in the public gallery that runs along the side of the House of Commons chamber when Bill C-389, An Act to amend the Canadian Human Rights Act and the Criminal Code (gender identity and expression) was passed without a recorded vote following its first debate and was referred to a House standing committee. The party’s Federal office is trying to get the videos of the debate from the Canadian Parliamentary Access Channel.
“We’re doing a mail drop and a sign blitz on E-12, and we’re calling our 1s and 2s to GOTV for the advance polls, but today we’re shopgating and mainstreeting, and our foot canvassers are doing pointage in our second-best polls.”
We will do a mass mailing and put up election posters on the twelfth-to-last day before election day, and we’re calling voters who have indicated they will definitely or probably support us in order to get out the vote (encourage identified supporters to vote) at the round of advance voting that is held a week before election day, but today we’re handing out pamphlets and greeting people at factory gates and on street corners, and we have volunteers going door-to-door to identify supporters in those voting divisions within our electoral district in which we received moderately good results in the last election.
The Catalyst comes too late. Cut the small moments and ramp up the big ones. Do a character pass and strengthen the B plot. The Midpoint is muddled and the turn doesn’t come until Bad Guys Close In. The set pieces are good, but you need more callbacks from Act One. The main character’s arc needs to more closely match the theme.
Yeah, you guessed it – screenwriting. This is what a notes session sounds like.

The NOP sled popped the stack and bypassed the IPS by using a fragmentation algorithm for an OS not accounted for in the perimeter configs.
[spoiler]
A NOP sled is a type of machine code where a processor executes enough ‘No Operation’ instructions that the execution pointer reaches part of the memory that is normally reserved for data, you can then get a computer to run instructions from an aread that normally just contains pictures and/or text.
Intrusion Prevention systems watch incoming traffic for certain patterns, NOP sleds included, but that traffic can be hidden by breaking up the packets into fragments the IPS doesn’t expect. If the IPS is told to re-order fragmented packets for a Windows system, packets fragmented for a BSD machine may get past it. [/spoiler]
Last week I was at COS giving my DOS and VRF to the CD, and she said she had called my site and talked to the waiban. It turns out he had a problem with my WYD/GAD activities and wanted me admin-sepped! I told her she was going to have to wack-evac me first! In the end it worked out, and I got my cash-in-liu and took off. It sure is good to be an RPCV!
Last week I was in the process of filling out the paperwork that allows you to finish Peace Corps service (Completion of Service) giving my official document that describes what I did as a Peace Corps volunteer (Description Of Service) and quarterly activity report (Volunteer Record Form) to the Country Director when she said she called the school where I worked and talked to the Foreign Affairs Department director. It turned out he had a problem with my women’s group (Women and Youth In Development/Gender in Developement) and wanted me to be kicked out of the Peace Corps. I told her she was going to have to evacuate me for having mental problems first! In the end it worked out, and I took my compensation for airfare and took off. It’s good to be a Returned Peace Corps Volunteer!
It’s says sprocket, not socket!
Kudos for the obscure, 30-year-old Steve Martin joke.
